Abstract

See full text

Improved golf ball exterior coatings which are used to create an extremely uniform hydrophobic or hydrophilic exterior surface on the golf ball. When the surface of the golf ball is hydrophobic, it tends to repel water, and this reduces drag on the golf ball surface as the golf ball travels through the air. When the surface of the golf ball is hydrophilic, the surface of the golf ball wets uniformly and the ball rolls straighter on a wet green, as the forces acting on the ball are more uniform. The hydrophobic or hydrophilic exterior coating is applied to the golf ball using vapor-phase deposition in instances where strict control over coating thickness uniformity, and/or reduced surface roughness is desired.
